Blog slog

I attended an interesting presentation on blogs today. The speaker pointed out 2 problems with blogs -
1. Most people don’t have very much to say that’s interesting, and/or are unable to write down their ideas in a compelling and clear manner.
2. People who have most time to write have the least to say, and the people who have the most to say don’t have enough time to write it.

All this made me smile at my seat.

contradicting your second point, I'd like to recommend some nice blogs, who have something to write and they do write... :)

regarding point one... was given (lent) a book called "Writing down the bones: Freeing the writer within" by Natalie Goldberg. Haven't started it as I'm finishing another book, but its highly recommended.... atleast the person who lent it to me told me so...
